A group of German researchers have discovered a surprising way to make tiny diamonds using high-power lasers and a simple plastic foil. Each shot generates about 10 billion nanodiamonds.
Scientists Turn Ordinary Plastic Into Billions of Tiny Diamonds Using Powerful Lasers
Diamonds recovered from plastic contain roughly 3,000 atoms each and could be modified with other elements for future use in medical imaging. Powerful lasers can turn plastic into tiny diamonds, but recovering the crystals means catching them as they shoot out at speeds comparable to a meteorite impact. Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) and [...]
